Arts & Nature

Use this section here to describe Reggio Emilia and the focus on arts and nature based education.

St. Paul’s Childhood Center (SPCC) is a NECPA accredited nature and arts based early childhood education center with a 4 out of 4 star rating from Parent Aware.

We have been serving children aged six weeks to six years old since 1970. SPCC is licensed by the state of Minnesota and are proud to offer a space for early learning with low child to teacher ratios and an exceptionally educated and experienced faculty.

“Children need the freedom to appreciate the infinite resources of their hands, their eyes, and their ears, the resources of forms, materials, sounds, and colors.”

  • Louis Malaguzzi

SPCC provides developmentally appropriate learning experiences and care in a safe, nurturing, engaging, and interactive environment.

We believe the environment, along with provocations created by teachers, foster growth and development. At SPCC, we collaborate with families to create an inclusive atmosphere to develop strong relationships and create a community of advocates. We recognize disparities and work for change. Classrooms offer learning experiences that challenge young minds while also setting up opportunities for success. Respect for oneself and others is a core value at SPCC, and we celebrate individuality of all people regardless of age, gender identity, ethnicity, ability, socioeconomic status, family structure, sexual orientation, or religion, and honor each family’s cultural background.
